WAD Help: Need for one dropdown to control two characteristic InfoObjects

All,
I have a dashboard built in WAD that contains several charts. There are several data providers and I have created a few simple dropdowns to apply filters. Here lies my problem:
For one specific characteristic, "business unit", in one data provider the InfoObject is "0material_zgbu"(nav attribute of 0material). In another data provider, the InfoObject is "0prft_ctr_zgbu" (nav attribute of 0prft_ctr).
What is the best way to make the dropdown selection apply a filter to both characteristics? Can I force a dropdown to control two characteristics?
Should I create a hidden dropdown to control the 2nd and somehow pass the selected value to it using code?
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rodney
(fyi.... I am using version 2004s)

If you feel both Drop Down Boxes will have Same values... then you can display only one Drop Down Box. Once you select any Value, you can trigger a command which will display values for both Data Providers.
Let me know if you need any further explanation.
Note: this will work only if both Drop Down Boxes has same Charecterstics Values.

Bex Web application designer

Hi all,
I have to customize a report that has been generated by the Bex Web application designer. The report is available on our portal under "Business Intelligence" > "Business explorer" > "Bex Portfolio".
I need to understand the technical context. The generated report, is it a BSP? If yes, where can I find it in BW (which name)? I already know that in transaction RSRT I can retrieve the name of an ABAP program that has been generated by Bex, but I don't manage to figure out what it's used for.
Thanks in advance,
Jeroen

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I want to add a contextmenu item 'do sth'. When the user rightclicks on a cell in the BW report & chooses 'do sth', an existing iView should be opened with some parameters that are dependent on where the user clicked in the report. Can all this be achieved in the WAD?
Edit: I've been reading the WAD help and it seems to be possible using javascript. I'll open a new thread for more info on retrieving the parameter values.
Thanks,
Jeroen

How to call a help file from a WAD Template button

Hi All
I need to implement a button in a web template when I press the button it displays another HTML or text file it is mainly on help on the report.
I am just wondering how to store this HTML or text file in the system and what function to implement in the web template button ti display this text or HTML when the button is pressed.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
Please try this out:
With WAD 3.5 it's easy. You could use javascript function: window.open().
window.open("/sap/bw/Mime/Customer/.../file.htm","NewWindow","width=750,height=700,left=100,top=100");
Try using the SCRIPT Item in WAD 7.0. You can use the same code within the SCRIPT Item and call the function which has been defined in the Script Item, in the XHTML part of the Template.
It may help.
Or put the file in another web template and on click of a button, the new template opens up and displays the content of the file.
Not sure though if the latter one would be useful, its just a thought.
Hope it Helps,
Regards,
Amit

Urgent help pls on WAD

Hi to all WAD gurus,
I am trying to create a web template for the client. The requirements they have include.
LEFT TOP they need a logo
RIGHT TOP they need Report run date, last infoprovider update date and page number #.
BOTTOM LEFT they need Report technical name, Query technical name, Infoprovider technical name and Environment: like Dev QA or Prod.
BOTTOM RIGHT they need Discalimer.
My question is can we do all this... cause some things look like they need to be populated by itself. Can some one help me in doing this, atleat an approach ASAP

It's possible.
You'll first have to design the layout of your template using either tables or CSS. Have your MIME objects(logo) available in the MIME repository. There are web items like "Text Elements" you can use to get things like last infoprovider update, query technical name etc. If you all else fails there are some javascript functions out there to get additional information you can't get with the standard web items...
Good Luck...
Please feel free to add some points to my pot...

Text Missing from F4 help in WAD

Hi All,
We are working on BW35 and EPP6. We have created one Z-InfoObject with text and used them in a Cube. When I use this InfoObject in a query with variable on it and run the report I can see the key and text both in the value help. But when I attached the same query in WAD and tried to execute it the value help shows only key and no text. I have tried changing properties of InfoObject and BEx query but nothing is working for me.
Please let me know what else can make the difference or is there any setting in the system as I don't have any issue with the standard objects.
Thanks in advance,
Rohit

Hi,
go to transaction rsdcube.
Chose the right tab (Characteristic or Time Characteristic)
Go to Extras->Structure Specific Infoobject Properties and
adjust your properties.

Help button in WAD 7.X

Hi all, i'm creating standard Web templates in 7.X version of WAD and i'm unable to insert a button that call a web adress to go to a help page.
In 3.5 Version it was very easy, doing it by code... The only thing I have seen in the new version is to insert an hyperlink (Toolbar --> Insert --> Hyperlink) but this only create a text chain that appears in the layout and guides you to a web adress but the web adress is displayed in the same window and after that you are unable to go back to your report (furthermore the appearance of this hyperlink is poor).
So, do anyone know hoy to create a button that guides you to a web adress ??
Maybe linking a java script with a button link? But i have no idea about what code I need to obtain this...
Infinite thanks.
Edited by: AndresH_Garcia on Apr 1, 2009 6:53 PM

Hi,
we have done something like this to open a documentation for the WebReport (the documentation has the same name as the template).
Just insert a ButtonGroup-Item and a ScriptItem.
function executeDocumentation( currentState, defaultCommandSequence ){
var templName = sapbi_page.m_mainTemplateName;
var baseDir = "http://....directory of documents.../";
var docuFile = baseDir + templName + ".htm";
window.open (docuFile);
Link the function ExecuteDocumentation to your Button.

F4 Help issue in SAP WAD

Hi,
Regarding the F4 values in SAP WAD which is using in SAP IP(Integrated Planning ).
Case 1: We have created WAD with ANALYSIS WEB ITEM and one ADD button.
- When we click on ADD button, it is creating a new line and when we press F4 for list of values we are getting the F4 values in the WAD.
Case 2: We have created WAD using TAB Pages where in the First Tab contains the selection screen values and then in the second tab
we have report to display as per the selection and we have ADD button to create a new record in the second tab page.
Now when we press ADD button in the report, it is creating a new line and then when we press F4 for values, it is not showing any values.
So the F4 values when using the Analysis item in Tab page is not showing from the F4 list.
Kindly help to resolve this issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can attach search help using field exit. Create field exit for postal code.
first, Create a function group.
Run Run program RSMODPRF, and input your data element. PSTLZ. You will get the field exit name.
Create the field exit with this name only, using the function group you have created. You can create it as local or global.
Attach the field exit to the program and screen.
Then use your search help inside the field exit.
You can find documents on doing it step by step for reference on the net.
Once that is done, then you can do the second part of moving values for city and region to the screen fields by coding the lines I had given above, either in the search help exit or in the customer exit.
Note : Field exit is an old technology and is not supported from SAP 6.0 and may require further settings to activate it.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/Field+exits
Hence, lets wait and see if there are any other options to do it without access key... Else you will have to request for the developer key.

Need help in WAD 7.0 - anaylsis item cell value as filter to another web...

Hi ,
I need help in WAD 7.0
i have 2 web items, analyis item 1 & 2
when user clicks any cell value in column xxx of analysis item1, then i need to filter the analysis item 2 values for column xxx , for that user clicked value.
how do i enable this ?

Hi.
You can try the nxt approach:
1. in analysis item A (first) properties define in "behaviour" -> "row selection" = "single with command".
2. set this command to "SET_SELECTION_STATE_BY_BINDING".
3. define "data provider affected" = your second data provider for analysis item B.
4. in "selection binding" set needed variables to binding type "VARIABLE"
In this case, when you select any row in analysis item A some variables will be populatd from this row and affect on analys item B (dataprovider B).

WAD - adding menu entries with JavaScript - help please!

Hiya,
I am completely new to JavaScript and I need some help with adding menu entries into my WAD template. Can anyone please help?
I want to add functionality into my WAD template to enable users adding results rows on a selected characteristic, at a single mouse click. Currently they need to go to the menu -> properties -> characteristic -> display results -> always -> ok. That's five clicks of a mouse (provided they know were to go).
I want to add this option to the basic menu so that they can click once only.
What I have managed to figure out so far using SAP help is the following. I have added a Script Item into my WAD Layout and added the following line of code in the Script Editing window:
sapbi_addToMenu("Add totals", "alternate_context_menu", "X","CHARACTERISTIC", "", "bottom", "", "")
It worked fine in that it added an extra item "Add totals" to my menu when I righclick on a characteristic. So far so good. However, I have no idea what function I should be using here, or how to code it. Surely WAD uses some function to perform this action, something that I could reuse? Is there a library somewhere of all the function used in WAD?
Can anyone please help with the code?
Many thanks,
Agata

Hiya again,
I have managed to partially solve this problem by using the following code. However it requires me to define on which characteristic the function is performed. In this case I have managed to get it working on 0PROJECT, but I want it to be ANY characteristic which has been right clicked?
Any ideas how I can pass the characteristic name as a VARIABLE, whose value would be read automatically when menu is triggered?
/* Add Contextmenu entries */
sapbi_addToMenu("Add totals", "JS_SET_RESULT_VISIBILITY_R", "X","CHARACTERISTIC", "", "bottom", "", "")
* Javascript functions that are to be integrated into a web template and that
* are to be used later in the web application ALWAYS have to have the same function
* signature, i.e. the parameters that will be passed.
* @param currentState - a list of parameters that describe the state the web item
* @param defaultCommandSequence - the initially used sequence of commands that
*       would have been used instead of the custom
*       script.
function JS_SET_RESULT_VISIBILITY_R( currentState, defaultCommandSequence ){
//Note: information can be extracted using the parameter 'currentState'
// and 'defaultCommandSequence'. In either case create your own object
// of type 'sapbi_CommandSequence' that will be sent to the server.
// To extract specific values of parameters refer to the following

// ('PARAM_KEY' refers to any parameter's name)
//Create a new object of type sapbi_CommandSequence

Hi RR,
Execute in the Browser
You use this function to publish your Web template on the Web and thereby create a Web application. You can also call the function from Execute in the Browser on the Web Application Designer toolbar.
You can see what the button will look like over here:

Query Designer&WAD: Variable search help - Display Key/Text button

Good day.
Please, can you write me some solution of my problem.
I have the character with hierarchy.
In tab "Business Explorer" of character set display as "Text".
When i run my query on SAP Portal and enter to search help of character, it is displays text of my ZCHARACTER(not key and text). But name of levels(0HIER_BODE) display key and text... (NODENAME and TEXT).
When i run query in BEx Analyzer, in search help all correct. My ZCHARACTER and 0HIER_NODE displays only text.
When i press tech button "Display Key/Text", a see marked "Text". I cannot find the same button when run search help in Query Designer, WAD(or Portal).
How can i display only texts of 0HIER_NODE? But no [Key] Text.
Thank you for answer.
Regards
Update. Can be usefull:
View table RSDVDPA with key DPNAM='0HIER_NODE' consist field CHAPRSNT with value = '0' (Key and Text).
When i change value of table
UPDATE RSDDPA SET CHAPRSNT = '4'
WHERE DPANM EQ '0HIER_NODE'
AND objvers EQ 'A'.
All works correct!
Change this value directly not correct. I think, that it is change of value of parent character. But when?

I have created own 0HIER_NODE character - ZNODENAME.
Only root node infoobject is 0HIER_NODE. All another - Z.
Thanks! ^)
